TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the communications field, and in particular, relates to a power supply fuse alarm circuit and an alarm apparatus.

BACKGROUND

A power supply loop is set in a cabinet in an equipment room in the telecom industry, and an alarm requirement is imposed on the power supply loop. Currently, a majority of operators in North America such as AT&T, Verizon, Quest, and TWC adopt an alarm fuse, and require that the alarm fuse can display an alarm after a main fuse is blown in a dual-combined-path power supply scenario, which is the “AT&T TP76450/76200 (Issue13/Issue15a 2010.10 latest version)” standard. Therefore, it is unavoidable for equipment providers in the North America market to solve an alarm fuse problem in a dual-combined-path power supply scenario.

However, an existing fuse alarm circuit is mainly designed for a single-path power supply. All fuse vendors can enable an alarm fuse to be blown to indicate an alarm after a main fuse is blown. However, in a dual-combined-path power supply scenario, if fuses (a main fuse and an alarm fuse) are directly connected to a load by using power access modules (power access module A and power access module B), as shown in FIG. 1, because impedance of the main fuse and impedance of the alarm fuse are not at the same order of magnitude, after the main fuse in one path (A1) is blown (Empty), only a small part of device current (such as a 5 A current) passes through the alarm fuse, and a most part of the device current passes through the main fuse in another path (B1). Consequently, a current in the main fuse in B1 approaches 10 A, and only a current that is approximately less than 0.1 A passes through the alarm fuse in A1. As a result, after the main fuse is blown, no alarm prompt is provided because the alarm fuse cannot be blown, which seriously affects reliability of running of a power supply loop.

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following describes the present invention in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Moreover, because the pulse control signal is used to control connection and disconnection of a power consumption module, heat generated by power consumption is reduced significantly, and an area of a fuse alarm apparatus is reduced effectively.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, an alarm blowing current is generated according to a pulse control signal, so that the alarm blowing current serves as a virtual load to blow an alarm fuse by using the alarm blowing current to implement an alarm prompt after a main fuse is blown. Moreover, because the pulse control signal is used to control connection and disconnection of a power consumption module, heat generated by power consumption is reduced significantly, and an area of a fuse alarm apparatus is reduced effectively.

FIG. 2 shows a structure of a power supply fuse alarm circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. For ease of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown.

The embodiment of the present invention is described by using dual-combined-path power supply as an example. Definitely, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to an alarm for the dual-combined-path power supply. When the embodiment of the present invention is applied to multiple power supply loops, multiple alarm units may be connected to multiple power access modules correspondingly.

As an embodiment of the present invention, the power supply fuse alarm circuit 1 includes an alarm unit 11A and an alarm unit 11B, which are connected to a power access module A and a power access module B, respectively. Each of the alarm units includes:

a voltage step-down module 111, where a forward input end of the voltage step-down module 111 is connected to a forward power supply RTN provided by the power access module, and a reverse input end of the voltage step-down module 111 is connected to a reverse power supply −48V1 provided by the power access module; and the voltage step-down module 111 is configured to perform step-down processing on a voltage provided by the power access module, to output a working voltage applicable to the alarm circuit (a control module 112 and a power consumption module 113);

the control module 112, where a power supply end of the control module 112 is connected to an output end of the voltage step-down module 111, and the control module 112 is configured to output a pulse control signal with a certain duty cycle in a case of normal power supply;

the power consumption module 113, where a first power supply end of the power consumption module 113 is connected to the output end of the voltage step-down module 111, a second power supply end of the power consumption module 113 is connected to the forward power supply RTN provided by the power access module, and a control end of the power consumption module 113 is connected to an output end of the control module 112; and the power consumption module 113 is configured to generate an alarm blowing current according to the pulse control signal, so that the alarm blowing current serves as a virtual load to blow an alarm fuse by using the alarm blowing current after a main fuse is blown; and

a protection module 114, where one end of the protection module 114 is connected to the reverse power supply −48V1 provided by the power access module, and the other end of the protection module 114 is connected to an output end of the power consumption module 113; and the protection module 114 is configured to, after a control circuit fails, disconnect the power consumption module 113 to implement protection.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the alarm circuit works normally, the voltage step-down module 111 takes power from the power access module, converts the power into a working voltage that can be used by the alarm circuit (the control module 112 and the power consumption module 113). After the control module 112 is powered on to work, the control module 112 outputs a pulse control signal with a certain duty cycle, controls connection and disconnection time of the power consumption module 113, and enables the power consumption module to generate a pulse current. After a main fuse of a power supply loop A1 or B1 is blown, because an alarm fuse cannot bear strength of the pulse current independently, the current (the alarm blowing current) blows an alarm fuse corresponding to the power supply loop A1 or B1, to give an alarm indication, thereby implementing an alarm indication in a multiple-combined-path power supply scenario.

After the control module 112 fails, the protection module 114 can rapidly cut off the alarm blowing current to protect a PCB board for safety and avoid that the PCB board is too hot to burn out a component and even affect running of an entire system due to a too large alarm blowing current.

Moreover, compared with the prior art in which a constant current is used in a single path to blow an alarm fuse, in this implementation solution, a pulse current is used to blow an alarm fuse, which significantly reduces power consumption of the power consumption module 113, and further reduces dissipated heat and greatly reduces a size of a PCB board.

Understandably, the duty cycle of the pulse control signal may be adjusted according to an actual requirement to adjust power consumption of the alarm circuit.
